> Whereas lockdowns in the Covid-19 case might have contributed to a lengthening of the crisis by delaying herd immunity

The point of the lockdown was not to entirely stop the spread- that was obviously not happening. It was to slow the spread to avoid overwhelming hospitals.

It allowed us to reduce the lethality of COVID-19 by having more resources per sick person.
